Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugMainManifest'

[manarbajafar]

Hi everyone I downloaded my example https://github.com/X-SLAYER/foreground_plugins_test to try Error after error appeared to me until I reached this error that I could not solve

android:exported needs to be explicitly specified for element <service#notification.listener.service.NotificationListener>. Apps targeting Android 12 and higher are required to specify an explicit value for `android:exported` when the corresponding component has an intent filter defined. See https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/activity-element#exported for details.

if i put android:exported="true" in notification.listener.service.NotificationListener service Error:Execution failed for task ':app:compileDebugKotlin'. > Compilation error. See log for more details will appear

Can someone help me? i use vs code

[HeyShafty]

Adding android:exported="true" to

<service
    android:label="notifications"
    android:name="notification.listener.service.NotificationListener"
    android:permission="android.permission.BIND_NOTIFICATION_LISTENER_SERVICE"
    android:exported="true">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.service.notification.NotificationListenerService" />
        </intent-filter>
</service>

in android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml

made it work for me

[HeyShafty]

More details: I created a new flutter project, imported the latest version of the package, copy-pasted the example from this repo and added previous reply content in AndroidManifest, it worked with no errors

[X-SLAYER]

I already mentioned this in the docs

   .
   .
<service android:label="notifications" android:name="notification.listener.service.NotificationListener"
android:permission="android.permission.BIND_NOTIFICATION_LISTENER_SERVICE" android:exported="false">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.service.notification.NotificationListenerService" />
        </intent-filter>
    </service>
    ...
</application>

The error shows that the android needs to be exported for the android and higher

It should be set to false if the component is only accessible within the app. For example, if the component is only used for internal functions and doesn't need to be called from other apps.

It should be set to true if the component needs to be called from outside the app. For example, if the component provides a public API that other apps can access or if it's a broadcast receiver that should receive broadcasts from outside the app.
